Sir, – Well done to Sonia O'Sullivan for calling out the governing body of athletics for a lack of centralised and professional management ("Athletes and Athletics Ireland need to ask the hard questions", Sport, August 12th). She also quite rightly refers to a "lack of any accountability when things don't work out". If our rowers and boxers can consistently perform at a high level and win medals, surely our athletes should be capable of performing much better! – Yours, etc,
TADHG McCARTHY,
